[TowerTalk] Some information:

[K8RI]

I had an e-mail complaint today.
I forget that most of the group has not been around as long as a few of us.

I should start out by pointing out I do not, nor ever have considered my 
self an expert in anything.  Experienced? Yes, but no expert and 
experience does not necessarily lead one to the correct conclusion.  I 
would add that I rarely post on anything that I do not have experience 
with. I do on occasion, but they are usually questions that I want to 
know about.

I would ask this of those who have an issue with something I post. 
Unless it's really private, post it here! I have no one protecting me, 
or followers like some on other groups so no one is likely to get on 
your case, least of all, me.  If I make a mistake, tell me and every one 
else and particularly the person who asked the question I'm addressing. 
  They need to know more than I do. I just need to know to prevent 
making the same mistake.

OTOH we may never agree and if I'm full of it, then tell me, but please 
keep it polite.  Actually the thing that bothers me more than anything 
else is some one thinking I think of myself as an expert.  I do not even 
believe in the term.  I just try to share my experiences and things 
based on them.  At my age and the life I've led I probably have 
experiences in more fields and equipment than most, but that still does 
not make me an expert.
